A Sequel to Disney’s $256 Million Hit Just Became a Lot More Possible Thanks to New Comments From John Leguizamo
Image
Encanto is still waiting for its sequel, as despite its success, a new installment has yet to be officially announced by Disney. However, John Leguizamo has hinted that Encanto 2 may be closer to happening than fans might realize.

Leguizamo discussed the possible sequel in a new interview with People at the opening night for the Buena Vista Social Club. He shared how he's just as eager as the fans to see Encanto get a sequel, though he has the advantage of knowing the decision makers. Leguizamo teased that he's been personally badging the Encanto team about getting progress moving on a follow-up film, sharing a promising update on the movie finally happening.

"I'm also waiting for an Encanto 2 when all we do is talk about Bruno," Leguizamo quipped, referring to "We Don't Talk About Bruno," the popular song featured in the film. "I'm calling them everyday saying 'When is number two coming?...

Bruce Willis' Bizarre Animated TV Show Is A Blast From The Past
Image
Gen-Xers likely recall this with clarity, but way back in 1987, when actor Bruce Willis was riding high in Hollywood, he began to, perhaps misguidedly, branch out. He released a blues record called "The Return of Bruno," a concept album consisting mostly of covers that was said to trace the rise and success of a fictional alter-ego named Bruno Radolini. In a tie-in TV special the same year, Willis played the titular Bruno in a mockumentary about the character. Many people bought "The Return of Bruno" as a pop culture curio, more eager to mock Willis than to give his music a chance. These days, few remember "Bruno," and those that do only bring it up for reasons of kitsch. 

Even fewer people, however, will remember an additional return of Bruno. Willis, it seems, wasn't done.

In 1996, Willis co-created and starred in an animated series called "Bruno the Kid," a comedy...

‘Virus’ – Revisiting the Comic, the Novel, and the Movie Jamie Lee Curtis Calls “Unbelievably Bad”
Image
The movie Virus did not officially scuttle across screens until 1999, but its biomechanical horrors first sprang to life a bit earlier. The road to screen adaptation was not straightforward for Navy Seal turned writer Chuck Pfarrer; he first pitched his high concept to Universal Pictures, only to then have it land at Dark Horse Comics. Upon the series’ success, Pfarrer tried his luck again with Universal. This time, though, producer Gale Anne Hurd was there to help get Virus optioned as well as find a potential director.

It was in 1995 that Universal first approached John Bruno about helming Virus. Initially, the visual effects artist was hesitant about directing a feature, and Pfarrer’s screenplay was a major factor in that uncertainty; he found it to be too dense and complicated for his liking. Yet after a talk with colleague and friend James Cameron, Bruno eventually accepted the offer, providing that...

Is 'Law & Order Svu' Teasing Carisi's Death in the Fall Finale Promo?

The newest season of Law and Order: Svu is starting to settle in, of course, just as it is, the fall finale is upon us. There have been a couple of changes this season, positive ones, namely Kevin Kane, who plays Detective Bruno, being bumped to a series regular. We're also still holding onto longstanding favorites such as Ice-t's Sgt. Tutola and, of course, Captain Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargitay from Day 1. Given that the show's been on the air for more than a quarter of a century, there's also faces that we've seen for the last decade or so that are still around. That includes Peter Scanavino's Dominic "Sonny" Carisi. But could the upcoming episode be his last?...

What is the Menken Rule and why is it affecting Moana 2's Oscar song choices?
Image
Moana 2 has revealed which songs are being submitted for Oscar consideration, and the choices highlight an unusual Oscar “rule” Disney inspired!

Whenever a new Disney animated movie hits, folks are ready for a song from it to be nominated for an Oscar and, more often than not, winning. It’s been that way since the 1990s and has led to some intriguing choices and winners.

With Moana in 2016, it was no shock that Tony-award-winning writer/composer Lin-Manuel Miranda provided some great songs. The one nominated for the Oscar was “You’re Welcome,” which lost the award to “City of Stars” from La La Land.

Miranda won’t be handling the writing duties for Moana 2. Instead, the songs come from Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, best known for the acclaimed unofficial Bridgerton: The Musical and getting a huge break with this film.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the two songs...

Disney reveals which ‘Moana 2’ songs will compete for Best Original Song Oscar
Image
How far will these songs go? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has selected the two “Moana 2” songs it will submit for Best Original Song consideration at the 97th Academy Awards. The two tracks are “Beyond” and “Can I Get a Chee Hoo?,” which kids and parents will become familiar with when the film opens in theaters next month.

Both songs have music and lyrics by Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear, who are taking over original songwriting duties from Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was nominated for Best Original Song in 2016 for the first film’s breakout song, “How Far I’ll Go.” “Beyond” also features Pacific choral vocals written and arranged by Opetaia Foa’i, who is a composer of film’s score along with Mark Mancina. It’s described as the film’s “I want” song, a tradition in Disney musicals where the heroine states her goal for the story in an early number.

Oi there, listen up! Amazon Prime Video’s list of new releases for June 2024 includes another season of its biggest, bloodiest hit.

The Boys season 4 premieres its first three episodes on Thursday, June 13.

The season will continue to air on Thursdays, culminating with the finale on July 18.

Amazon is really leaning into its sports offerings this month as well. Fans will get to watch the New York Yankees, the WNBA, and the Nwsl several times throughout June. That’s in addition to a couple of sports docs: Power of the Dream on June 18 and Federer: Twelve Final Days on June 20.

Robert Irwin Comments On The Possibility Of Joining The Bachelor

Off the cusp of his breakup with Rorie Buckley last month, Australian conservationist and TV personality Robert Irwin is once again a single pringle!

But would he ever go on The Bachelor? Irwin recently had an interview with Yahoo! Lifestyle, and the subject of him appearing on the reality television dating competition came up.

Robert Irwin Dances Around The Topic

The 20-year-old Australian personality, alongside Julia Morris, his I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here Australia co-host, danced around the idea of him joining The Bachelor, during their interview.

Irwin initially laughed when the question was asked, but Morris notes that if he was The Bachelor, then she’d go on as a bachelorette contestant, and noted it would be like a “weird old creepy nightmare.” Irwin replied, “Yeah … right”, while laughing, and he added, “That sounds perfect.”

Morris stipulated that the two couldn’t go on a date though,...

Dicks: The Musical Director Larry Charles Hates Big-Budget Films: “I Find It Offensive”

Larry Charles dislikes high-budget blockbuster films, finding them offensive and ethically questionable given the state of the world. Charles believes that big-budget films dominate the industry due to a media monopoly system, preventing the success of independent projects. Charles combats the Hollywood system by making films as cheaply as possible, using smaller budgets to create radical and profitable works like Dicks: The Musical.

Dicks: The Musical director Larry Charles has expressed his dislike for high-budget blockbuster films in Hollywood. Especially when they're being made with the world "in the state that it’s in." In a recent interview on the Wtf With Marc Maron podcast, Charles discussed why he prefers making lower budget movies like Dicks: The Musical, a musical about two business adversaries who realize they're identical twin brothers.

‘Dicks’ Director Larry Charles Slams Big-Budget Films: It’s ‘Offensive When Movies Cost $250 Million’ and the ‘World Is in the State That It’s in’

On Thursday’s episode of the “Wtf With Marc Maron” podcast, “Dicks: The Musical” director Larry Charles opened up about why he steers clear of working on big-budget movies.

“I try to make things like ‘Dangerous Comedy’ or this movie [‘Dicks: The Musical’] — this movie’s a very low-budget movie,” Charles said of the raunchy A24 musical. “Politically for me, ethically for me, I find it offensive when movies cost $250 million and the world is in the state that it’s in. So I’m also looking to make a statement in the way these things are made.”

Charles, known for his directorial collaborations with Sacha Baron Cohen and his work on such sitcoms as “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Seinfeld,” slammed the Hollywood studio system, calling it a “media monopoly system” in the United States.

Larry Charles isn’t exactly known for his film work in the big-budget blockbuster space — and it turns out that’s just the way he wants it.

In a wide-ranging interview on “Wtf With Marc Maron” released Thursday, the industry vet was discussing how comedy can be a political act in the context of his 2019 Netflix series “Larry Charles’ Dangerous World of Comedy” and his latest cult indie flick “Dicks: The Musical” when he ripped into his beliefs on how the Hollywood system operates today.

“I try to make things like ‘Dangerous Comedy’ or this movie — this movie’s a very low-budget movie,” Charles said of his new A24 musical comedy starring Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally, Josh Sharp, Aaron Jackson and Bowen Yang. “Politically for me, ethically for me, I find it offensive when movies cost $250 million and the world is in the state that it’s in.

Will ‘Wish’ Face a “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”-Type Conundrum?
Image
Disney Animation might be wishing for a crystal ball as as it decides which song from their upcoming feature Wish to submit for Oscars consideration. The Oscars’ Nov. 1 deadline comes weeks ahead of the Nov. 22 release date for the film, voice starring Ariana DeBose as young protagonist Asha and Chris Pine as villainous King Magnifico. The date means the studio could face a potential conundrum, not unlike the one its experienced in 2022 when best animated feature winner Encanto was a contender.

When the 2022 Oscar nominations for best original song were announced, Encanto‘s ballad “Dos Oruguitas” got a nom, but “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” — which went on to become the studio’s biggest hit ever from a movie, sitting atop the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks — did not. It left many scratching their heads, but the reason, it turned out, was that Disney Animation didn’t submit “Bruno” for consideration.

Sasha Baron Cohen will suit back up as Ali G for new stand up tour
Image
The undercover character comedian extraordinaire, Sasha Baron Cohen, isn’t forgetting about the character that propelled him into stardom. While Cohen shot up into pop culture with the release of Borat, illustrated by the many bad impressions people attempted over the years, and followed that up with a revival of another one of his staple characters in Bruno, Cohen will be suiting up as his signature fictional rapper character who is the proclaimed “voice of the youth,” Ali G. He is set to revive the satirical interviewer for a stand-up tour that Cohen is currently planning.

According to Variety, Cohen is denying that he has a movie in development and the comedic chameleon, who is a writer and actor, is abiding by the restrictions as both the writers’ union and actors’ union strike. A source tells Variety, “As a SAG and WGA member he is supporting the ongoing strike alongside his fellow writers and actors.

Sacha Baron Cohen Reviving Ali G in New Stand-Up Tour (Exclusive)

Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing back Ali G, the controversial character with whom he first shot to fame in the late 1990s.

Variety understands Baron Cohen has been working on a stand-up tour in which Ali G will make an appearance. A source close to Baron Cohen strenuously denied a new movie was in development, however, noting that the writer and actor is strictly abiding by strike rules. “As a SAG and WGA member he is supporting the ongoing strike alongside his fellow writers and actors,” the source told Variety.

In 2021 the comedian resurrected the Staines-based rapper during a secret gig at The Comedy Store in Sydney, Australia. “I just wanted to get on stage and muck around and see what Ali G would be like with a crowd,” he said at the time. “It was really good fun.”

10 Incredibly Dark Moments Hidden In '90s Kids Movies
Image
Some '90s kids movies have incredibly dark moments hidden within them, which evolved storytelling for children across the decade. Surprisingly, even films like The Muppet Christmas Carol and Beauty and the Beast have dark moments that contribute to the overall message. Some notable dark moments include Bruno transforming into a mouse in The Witches, Scar's song in The Lion King, and Buzz realizing he's a toy in Toy Story.

Incredibly dark moments hidden in '90s kids movies underscore how much stories for children evolved during the decade. On one hand, it can be surprising how much darkness is cleverly tucked inside some of the most foundational and popular kids movies from the 1990s. On the other, it can be argued that many of these moments are crucial to delivering the positive messages and lessons that these films aimed to impart to children.

Could ‘Jury Duty’ Get a Season 2? It Has ‘Infinitely Repeatable’ Concept for Future, Executive Producers Say
Image
After a decade-long friendship, comedy producers David Bernad and Todd Schulman finally put together their hidden-camera comedy expertise to make Amazon Freevee’s viral success “Jury Duty.”

The executive producers of the overnight hit mockumentary combined their talents for the improvised-scripted sitcom. Bernad and Schulman began with the idea to hone in on sitcom genre tropes and create a story about an isolated individual amongst a cast of actors as they served on a sequestered jury.

The two have had successful stints with unconventional comedy subgenres, most recently within the improvised-scripted sphere. Schulman worked with Sacha Baron Cohen on “Who Is America?” and Bernad teamed with Eric Andre on “Bad Trip.” Prior to “Jury Duty,” Schulman served as executive producer on “Borat,” “Bruno,” “The Lovebirds” and “The Dictator,” while Bernad executive produced “The White Lotus,” “Superstore,” “Uncharted” and “White House Plumbers.“

Tons Of People Now Cancelling Disney Plus Since The Mandalorian’s Over
The Mandalorian was designed to launch Disney Plus with a bang, and it certainly did that, providing a far superior Star Wars experience to its big screen cousin The Rise of Skywalker. I adored its Western and samurai-inspired aesthetic, beautiful cinematography, awesome cast and, of course, everyone’s favorite pint-size puppet Baby Yoda. The finale of the first season didn’t disappoint either, setting us up for an epic adventure that I hope will continue in the same vein as what we’ve already seen.

So, all celebrations at Disney HQ, right? Well, not exactly. The Mandalorian was their flagship exclusive, but they don’t have much in the near future to follow it up with. There isn’t anything remotely as exciting as it for a while yet, with the next major show being The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. That doesn’t have a set release date right now,...

Adam McKay Sets Jeffrey Epstein Limited Series Under First-Look Deal With HBO, Launches New Company

Succession executive producer Adam McKay is expanding his relationship with the network and studio behind the buzzy drama series. The Oscar winner has launched a new company, Hyperobject Industries, which has closed a five-year, first-look television deal with HBO, to develop content for HBO and streaming sibling HBO Max.

Joining McKay as a partner in Hyperobject Industries is his long-time producer Kevin Messick as the company has set up its first project under the new deal — a limited series based on Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown’s upcoming book about Jeffrey Epstein, which will be developed by HBO Films.

This is probably the highest-profile among a number of TV series projects about the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender shopped following his arrest and subsequent death this past summer.

Writer Claims CAA Ripped Off TV Pilot
A TV writer filed suit against Creative Artists Agency on Tuesday, alleging that his agents stole his idea for a show and gave it to a higher-profile client.

John Musero worked as a writer on the Aaron Sorkin show “The Newsroom” in 2014. The following year, he says he wrote a pilot called “Main Justice,” which would focus on the inner workings of the U.S. attorney general’s office. Though the series was optioned and developed by the Mark Gordon Co., it never went beyond that.

Musero’s suit alleges that another CAA client, Sascha Penn, sold a pilot called “Main Justice” to CBS in 2018. The show was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and former Attorney General Eric Holder, and similarly focused on the attorney general’s office. The suit claims that both pilots ended with an assassination attempt on the attorney general.

The suit contains echoes of the ongoing...

What Really Is the Point of Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America?’
"The Golden Globe Awards - 66th Annual" (Telecast) Sacha Baron Cohen
(Spoilers ahead for the premiere of Sacha Baron Cohen’s new Showtime series, “Who Is America?” We will reference the second episode, which airs on July 22, but will not reveal any details about it.)

It’s a little bit surprising that after all these years, Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again. And I mean really, really at it. After “Da Ali G Show,” “Borat” and “Bruno” we figured that particular shtick was over, because the man is so famous that pulling that kind of thing off at this point would be impossible, and yet here we are.

One viral tweet this week summed up that sentiment rather well:

Sacha Baron Cohen is eyeing a return to the type of TV that made him a star.

Baron Cohen is in talks with Showtime to distribute a new series in which he will star, sources tell Variety. The format is said to be similar to Baron Cohen’s “Da Ali G Show,” which aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. and HBO in the U.S. Baron Cohen teased the project on July 4, releasing a cryptic video via social media that said, in part, “He’s back as you’ve never seen him before.”

The video also featured real footage of Donald Trump insulting Baron Cohen and ends with the logo of the now-defunct Trump University. Other than Trump, Baron Cohen could also be targeting other celebrities. He was reported to have filmed a stunt with O.J. Simpson in his Las Vegas hotel room in February.

Leonardo DiCaprio at an event for Inception (2010)
Drake knows how to throw a party!

The rapper celebrated his 31st birthday on Monday night at West Hollywood hot spot Poppy, and a slew of his celebrity friends showed up to party. Et has learned that the star-studded guest list included Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, G-Eazy Jamie Foxx, Kelly Rowland and Hailey Baldwin, who was recently romantically linked to Drake.

Other stars seen entering the nightclub were Lamar Odom, Usain Bolt and Halsey. Going all out, the venue's signage was even changed from "Poppy" to "Papi" as a tribute to Drake, who sometimes goes by Champagne Papi.

An eyewitness at the invitation-only event tells Et that the party was sports and Bar Mitzvah-themed, and included photos and videos of Drake as a child displayed on monitors. The dress code for the soiree was semi-formal and guests were treated to pizza and Dippin' Dots, as they...

'A 10 from Len!': DWTS Fans Freak Out After Judge Len Goodman Awards Two Contestants with 10s — See the Reactions!
Benny Goodman c. 1962
Dancing With the Stars fans couldn’t contain their excitement after head judge Len Goodman awarded not one, but two 10s on Monday’s Disney Night.

The first perfect score from Goodman, 73, was given early on in the show after Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas performed a foxtrot to “When You Wish Upon a Star.”

“I love Disney princesses so much that I really wanted to be one,” Stirling, 31, told Ballas, 31, during rehearsals of wanting to dress up as Tinkerbell or Belle while visiting Disneyland. “But, they thought I was more of a Winnie the Pooh. I was devastated.”

Dancing With the Stars Recap: Was the Right Couple Eliminated First?
Benny Goodman c. 1962
Dancing With the Stars kicked off its first two-night event of Season 25 on Monday by literally kicking off the first couple of Season 25.

But before we get to the results, let’s see how each of the couples danced tonight…

Debbie & Alan | Despite the judges’ pointed criticisms over Debbie Gibson’s quickstep, they all acknowledged that her positive attitude is infectious. (Score: 20/30)

Nikki & Artem | Following last week’s edgier routine, which found Nikki Bella throwing partner Artem Chigvintsev to the floor, the WWE Diva took a more “elegant” route, resulting in a waltz that had judge Bruno Toniolo feeling “starry eyed under a starry sky.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Put Their Own Vintage Twist on Bridesmaid Dressing
Ashley Olsen
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are notoriously low-key, private celebrities, rarely giving interviews and even more rarely being photographed while going about their daily lives as luxury fashion designers and generally fabulous people. In fact, these two just might be part of the tiny handful of millennial women who don’t and have never had a social media presence, making their first appearance on Vine in 2014 in a video they thought was a photo and posting their first ever and only selfie just last year. So when these sisters do crop up on Instagram, it’s kind of a big deal.

Women seem to be continually defending their clothing choices right now. We’ve seen instances from high school graduating seniors, mall shoppers and even female reporters in the House Speaker’s lobby, all of whom have stood up to the backlash and body shamers while promoting change in the process. But according to news from the Ladies Professional Golf Association, the organization is on a mission to reverse its players’ dress code by banning shirts with “plunging necklines,” racerback tank tops, short skirts and even leggings.

19 Things That Happened at 1997 Oscars That Would Probably Never Happen Today
Shirley MacLaine, Gary Sinise, Joey Lauren Adams, Kathy Bates, and Alex D. Linz in Bruno (2000)
The Academy Awards will go down at end of February, likely providing us with a gorgeous collection of red carpet gowns, plenty of Pda-friendly couples, and some truly spectacular moments. It will be the 89th iteration of the annual award show, and although they're sure to be great, we have a feeling it'll be hard to top what happened at the Oscars 20 years ago. That's right - the red carpet at the 1997 Oscars was, as the kids say, f*cking lit. The dress code included crop-tops, t-shirts, and velvet capes, and couples who seem bizarre to us now were getting cozy all over the place. 2017's show might have Ryan Gosling, but the one in 1997 had someone legitimately dressed as the Oscar statue. There's no coming back from that. Related:20 Power Couples Who Ruled the Red Carpet at the 1997 Golden Globes...

Insomniac doesn’t mess around when it comes to lineups. The company has consistently impressed us year after year by revealing star studded rosters for their events, all with a nice variety of genres and artists, ensuring that there’s always something for everyone.

Tonight, they continue that trend with the full lineup for Edc (Electric Daisy Carnival) Las Vegas, which was announced on the latest edition of Night Owl Radio, Insomniac’s weekly radio show. As per usual though, the names were revealed in a rather cryptic manner and while we still don’t have an official list to consult, the Edm community has taken to Reddit to start putting the pieces together.

You can see below for the full list of what’s been deciphered so far, but highlights include Sleepy Tom, Throttle, Shaun Frank, Hot Since 82, Lane 8, Dusky,...

Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood: "Bruno is definitely becoming nastier"
Strictly Come Dancing's Craig Revel Horwood is concerned that fellow judge Bruno Tonilio might be trespassing onto his "nasty" turf with his recent criticisms and on-air swearing.

The notoriously cutting judge - who dressed up as a zombie bride for last weekend's Halloween-themed all-star dance - told Woman magazine that "Bruno is definitely becoming nastier".

Strictly Come Dancing: From Adele to Take That, see Week 7's song and dance list

"That's my turf! Perhaps I need to have a few words with him," he continued.

"I think it's because he's the tough judge in the States and that character is crossing over the pond.

"He needs to be careful he doesn't get too carried away and slip up again with a swear word, though."

Effusive Italian judge Tonilio described Jay McGuiness's paso doble with professional partner Aliona Vilani as "the bull's bollocks", for which the BBC later apologised.

Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and Emily Blunt in Sicario (2015)
Cannes: Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin Break Promise to Wear High Heels
Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, and Emily Blunt in Sicario (2015)
Earlier today in Cannes, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, and director Denis Villeneuve had vowed to wear high heels to the premiere of their new Mexican-drug-cartel movie, Sicario, in protest of an antiquated Cannes Film Festival dress code that requires women to wear high heels to all nighttime gala premieres. (The dress code has been all anyone can talk about here in Cannes, after several women in their 50s, including some with health problems with their legs, were denied entry to the Palais for wearing flats.) Did the men of Sicario follow through in their gesture of solidarity against oppressive footwear? Sadly, no. At the film's after-party, del Toro could be seen standing around in comfy black men's dress shoes while his co-star Emily Blunt, in high-heeled sandals, had to keep sitting on the backs of couches because her feet clearly hurt. As del Toro explained to Vulture, he really...

Super

Writer: Joshua Crowther

Artist: Bruno Chiroleu

Publisher: Jay Crow Comics

Super is a Kickstarter-funded comic that switched focus between two main characters Mark, the first, is a super-powered young farm boy (a lot like Clark Kent). The second is Secretary of Defense John Colbert. Mark pops up often in Surran, your standard Middle-Eastern war zone placeholder while Colbert deals with his family issues and the various politics of Washington. Understatement aside, Super is an excellent first issue. The story could easily fit within the pages of Action Comics, as Superman struggles with morality, and the responsibility of being a hero. Chiroleu’s art is smooth and expressive. The first issue as a whole feels very professional with one exception: Mark has a conversation with his friend Jordan. A handful of pages in the middle of the issue are dedicated to a sophomore poli-sci paper worth of dialogue on the...

A Utah teen sparked a controversy after she was forced to wear her winter coat during a school dance because officials thought her dress was "too inappropriate." Gabi Finalyson, 15, couldn't wait for Saturday's formal at Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah. She even bought the perfect dress during a recent trip to Paris, according to Kutv. But as soon as she walked into the event, a school representative told her and four other students to cover up because they were showing too much shoulder and back. "Somehow my shoulders are sexualized," Gabi told Kutv. "Like it's my responsibility to...
